The London Symphony Orchestra assists Eric Shilling, Keith Michell, Francis Egerton, and Tom McDonnell in a performance of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Gondoliers. The story concerns two gondoliers who must choose a wife from two-dozen prospective mates. Royal intrigue and mystery add the plot complications common to the work of Gilbert and Sullivan. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide.
